Don't have a bench but I did mark off 7 and 25 and did a bit better on 2nd outing. Got a few snap caps and looking forward to more practice. I'm wondering about your last statement Deanimator. I thought these XD's were used in competition shooting by some. Is their main purpose a close range...

My bad on the title. It most definitely should have said 'Lousy shooting today'. I just got started shooting larger caliber and I went from 22 to 45. I have maybe 100 to 150 rounds in larger caliber so I know I flinch.

I was excited to take my brand new XD45 to our shooting pit. Took aim at an empty jug using 6 o'clock sight picture (as per manual) at about 25 or 30 feet and put one into the dirt about 6 feet short. I had to cover the target, if not a bit high, to even get close and I struggled the whole time...

I live in NM. Several of my friends have just been reintroduced to shooting and we are loving it. My best friend bought a self defense gun. Then he bought good target gun. Then a collectors gun and spent way too much money. Then he was bidding on a gun and entered an amount that he never...

Thanks much for the info. I'm getting a sinking feeling I'm going to have to settle for alternate choices and pay more for them to boot.

I live in a small town in NM near the Texas border. We have a few gun shops within 20 miles but their selection is thin and expensive. I'm having a hard time finding the models I want. My step son lives in Texas 2 hours away and wants me to come over and go to the gun shops with him. If I...

They did have an Election Year Special this month in Hand Gunner Mag that was 10 bucks off the first year. You might mention that.
